Mayor Landrieu to meet with Taxicab CPNC awardees

April 09, 2013

NEW ORLEANS, LA— Today, Mayor Landrieu, and City Officials will meet with a number of Taxicab CPNC awardees. In March, the City of New Orleans Taxicab and For-Hire Bureau announced that it awarded 100 new Certificates of Public Necessity and Convenience (CPNC) to taxicab drivers and companies.

In December 2012, the City announced that it would accept applications for new CPNCs. This new opportunity was created to give drivers who have not previously held CPNCs a chance to secure one. The hope is that this creates income opportunities for taxicab drivers to become small business entrepreneurs.
